About this property

Waterfront vacation home built in 1930s, right on the Gulf. Well-chosen updates make it clean and modern, while retaining old-world charm: solid windows downstairs flood the house w light and provide views of passing dolphins and diving pelicans. The open kitchen lets you watch the kids playing on the sandbars while you're cooking. The outdoor shower under the oak trees with Gulf view? - doesn't get much better than that!

Our sleeping porch upstairs means fun for kids old and young. Four more cozy BRs make this charming home perfect for your family reunion or peaceful getaway.
If you can tear yourself away, go explore nearby fishing villages of Carrabelle and Panacea, historic Apalachicola, and the spectacular wide beaches of St George Island.
Just under a one-hour drive from Tallahassee Airport.
Air conditioned. Washer and dryer.

Awesome Getaway!

This was absolutely the best place we've ever stayed! There were 10 of us and we ranged in age from 2 to 70. Great fit for everyone and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. Every adult (6) entered the house saying "Wow, this is great!" There was plenty of room for all, and no one complained about anything. We stayed a week and only ate out one meal. When we realized we were going to run out of garbage space in the bear proof can, Tracy and her brother came up with a solution. My daughter said it was awesome and my daughter in law said it was the most relaxed she'd been her entire furlough. It was great to have all our family in one house since this was the first time we were all together in 4 years. We plan to stay here again!

A step back in time

This was the most relaxing vacation property we have ever stayed at. Such beautiful views and scenery in such a unique setting. It was a step back in time, which was truly appreciated by all of us. The house and surroundings were a true picture of my vision when reading novels like Sullivan’s Island. The gazebo was everyone’s favorite place. We hope to return soon.

Great homey location

Perfect location for a low key family get together. Very comfortable and quiet location with all we needed to prepare family dinners, play cards and relax on the beach. Plenty of room to travel with extended family thanks to the kids room with 5 beds. Owners are easy to contact if needed.

back to school vacation

This property is basically on its own private beach with a few other houses. The house set up with beds and furnishings was ideal for our large gathering. Kitchen had everything we needed and with the out door shower we were all able to get ready easily. We sat on the dock over looking the beach and ocean each evening watching the storms rolling in and it was heaven. If your looking to go out to eat your looking at driving 20 to 45 mins so plan to cook at home some nights. We loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Williamson

We are a brother and sister, third generation owners. We think of ourselves as stewards to this cherished family home where we spent all of our childhood summers, as did our father.

Why they chose this property

St Teresa is a magical place to all the families like ours who have been lucky enough to spend time there. We never get tired of the light, the views, the fact that little children can wade out in the shallow water and gentle waves. We hope you fall in love with it too.
